Discover a thousand years of Fribourg's art and history in a unique setting that combines a Renaissance palace, an ancient slaughterhouse, and a romantic garden.
The Museum of Art and History is located in three historic buildings in the heart of Fribourg, offering visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the city's artistic and cultural heritage. Outdoors, a peaceful garden with notable sculptures, such as La Grande Lune by Niki de Saint Phalle, invites guests to relax. Inside, the collections include archaeological finds from the region, objects that illustrate the political and cultural life of Fribourg, as well as sculptures and paintings spanning nearly ten centuries, from the 11th to the 20th century.
